Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

During this month, an average of more than ten people died every day from exhaustion from dancing.

Later, the local government was really at a loss.

They just couldn't figure it out.

They directly invited the priest from the church to perform the exorcism.

But even the priest in the church at that time couldn't solve it.

Because they directly took people dancing in the streets to the church.

The exorcism was performed personally by the bishop in the church.

But the effect is minimal.

Exorcisms have no effect.

Because the people who were arrested were still dancing in the church.

Even the bishop was helpless.

The matter was ultimately left unresolved.

This is the very famous dancing plague incident in history.

People at that time only relied on various supernatural things.

I think these people are possessed by evil spirits.

Or maybe the devil is possessing him.

But in the end, none of them could figure out what was going on.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the devil.

It’s just that this incident was directly recorded in history books.

When people later look at it.

I found out that this was the most famous case of collective hysteria.

Because the records were very detailed, they were often discussed in psychology later on.

How does postmodernism view this matter?
They believe that there is something wrong with the collective psychological state.

The society at that time was full of various high pressures.

The oppression of the common people by the nobles has already filled the society with various problems.

When people are under high pressure, they are very likely to have psychological problems.

It wasn't one person at the time.

Instead, the entire society is under a state of high pressure.

Everyone is like a pressure cooker.

Famine, plague, disease, religion and class.

All these things are suffocating for the common people.

Naturally, their subconscious mind needs to vent.

Maybe Ms. Trofia really does relieve her stress through dancing.

So when she really couldn't bear it all.

The first thing that comes to mind is dancing.

This led to a dance plague.

In fact, it was fourteen centuries before that.

A similar dancing plague occurred.

It was in the Rhine region.

Participants all said they were cursed.

Only by dancing to death can you find liberation.

In addition to psychological problems, scientists also believe that.

This may be related to the food at that time.

Ergot poisoning.

At that time in Europe, their food was various rye and grains.

This is because the humid environment at that time caused ergot to grow on some grains.

These ergot fungi have very strong hallucinogenic properties.

Ate black bread and wine made from ergot grains.

It may cause central nervous system poisoning, thus triggering epilepsy.

Hallucinations may occur, leading to chorea-like convulsions.

When such situations break out collectively.

It is easy for people to think that you are possessed by a demon or are under witchcraft.

Why is it called St. Anthony's Fire?

Because these patients will have accumulation of ergot in their bodies.

It causes vasoconstriction, limb ulceration and necrosis.

This kind of pain is like being burned by fire.

Therefore, it is considered as a punishment or salvation test of St. Anthony.

Modern scientists and psychologists believe that.

These are collective hysteria or hysterical events.

All of this can be explained.

It’s just that people were too backward and ignorant at that time and linked everything to religion.

Except for the dancing plague, which is a very famous event in history.

Something closer to us, for example, England in the 1960s.

A mass fainting incident occurred in a textile factory.

A female worker in a textile factory suffers from fuel anxiety due to the monotonous work.

The cameraman experienced symptoms of fainting and difficulty breathing.

However, the English government later intervened to investigate.

It was discovered that there was no chemical poisoning and that everything was just their imagination.

But someone else said something about this matter at that time.

This is just the English government helping the textile mills to cover up some truth.

In fact, this was not a case of hysteria among these female workers.

But those dyes are really toxic and can cause people to have difficulty breathing and faint.

It was a capitalist society at that time, and England was one of the earliest capitalist countries.

Capitalists do not treat people as human beings, but as parts on an assembly line.

Chaplin satirized this phenomenon in his pantomime.

So they believe that the mental breakdown was caused by the factory's exploitation of female workers.

The resulting hysteria.

If it happened in modern times.

In a school in Malaysia, more than sixty students suddenly screamed and convulsed.

There was no warning.

The local government normally attaches great importance to this matter.

But in the end, after various investigations.

It was discovered that it was not a collective food poisoning, nor was it someone drugging or a student prank.

It’s because of social media panic and exam stress.

This led to hysteria among some students.

To put it bluntly, it is a psychological problem.

Transformed into physical symptoms.

Not limited to dancing, screaming, paralysis, convulsions, blindness, etc.

But if you go for a check-up, there are no pathological changes.

There was no nerve damage.

It just happened naturally.

This is not because the patient intends to pretend to be like this, but because the subconscious defense mechanism is dysfunctional.

That's what made them become like this.

In fact, there are similar ones in our country.

For example, in ancient times, people were distraught.

Elderly people often say that someone’s soul seems to have been lost.

Some people feel like they are possessed.

Bewitched, possessed by something.

So the Vatican needs to come and investigate.

In the border town, hundreds or even thousands of residents claimed to have seen angels.

Is this hype or something else.

This needs to be confirmed by the church.

But now these people from the Vatican have no chance to meet Ye Zhen at all.

They actually suspected that the story was made up by the people in the small town.

In fact, there are no angels at all.

"Father Arnold, our patience has reached its limit."

"Please let us investigate this incident."

"If it is true, we will report it truthfully."

“Let the Holy See admit that this is a real miracle.”

Father Arnold also had a look of distress on his face, as he certainly knew that this was the official procedure of the Vatican.

This is to prevent some people from deliberately using similar things to make a fuss.

Father Arnold said apologetically, "I'm really sorry."

"The angel said that there was no order or permission from him."

"No one can see him."

"If you really want to see him."

"You can go by yourself. The angel is in the dilapidated church in the town."

Of course, people from the Vatican would not do this.

What if the other party is real?

Didn't they disobey the angel's command?

Angels represent God.

In other words, they were disobeying God.

No believer dared to bear such a crime. (End of this chapter)
